Making a Living

I am inspired, both professionally and personally, by the Maya Angelou quote. “I’ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life.” I decided to put gouache and pen to paper, to commemorating the important theme of balance.

“I’ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life.”

–Maya Angelou

The impact of this quote, both in its simplicity, and its application to my exact place in life right now, resonates. I love designing (a living) and I love my family (the life), and sometimes (most of the time) the two are competing for my time and attention

Whenever possible I try to exercise my art muscles. Picking up pens and brushes relaxes the impulse to control every element that comes from design work.
